Creative Cloud, Creative Suite 6, and Mavericks (10.9)

Apple announced the general availability of Mac OS X Mavericks today. The natural question to ask is, should I upgrade or not? Will my existing software work? Will my Creative Cloud apps continue to work?

Adobe and Apple have worked closely together to test Adobe® Creative Cloud applications and Adobe Creative Suite 6 applications for reliability, performance and user experience when installed on Intel® based systems running Mac OS X Mavericks. (v10.9). All Adobe CC and CS6 products are compatible, but a few products require updates to the latest builds to work properly. Adobe Photoshop® CS5, CS4 and CS3 were also tested with Mac OS X Mavericks and there are currently no major issues known..

Summarizing a couple of problems and solutions from the comments below:

Problem with Open/Save dialog boxes — Try switching to List or Icon view in the File > Open or File > Save dialog (quickly – before it disappears). There seems to be an issue with the Cover Flow view (the one that looks like iTunes album covers). — Thanks, Meredith!

With a release of any new OS, often default directory permissions are modified. This may cause trouble with older software. It may be worthwhile to check and grant read/write permissions to product folders.

Photoshop + dual Monitors: Go to System Preferences, click Mission Control, and turn off “Displays have separate Spaces.” This will preserve the multi-monitor setup when you switch out of and back to an Adobe app.

I have a Java file that installed on my mac from a CSS extension manager prompt. After it installs you can’t get the java bin file to QUIT! it stays open all the time. ANyone can help me figure out how to delete it without reinstalling the OS.

Have Macericks X installed and now I get an error message when I try to use Acrobat 9. Error message says, “Adobe Acrobat was installed as part of a suite. To enable Acrobat, please start another component of this suite.” Opening Photoshop does NOT work. I HAVE to be able to use Acrobat. Help? Anyone?

Ever since I updated to Mavericks, when I open illustrator and InDesign, It will open, but i can’t press anything! After like one minute, the whole thing will disappear and when I right click on the the app in my docks, it will say application not responding!
